Thank you for those words. I recently found out my lung cancer has spread to my liver. All I hear and see in peoples faces is "oh with a sad face" This concerned me as I am stage 4 lung cancer and was doing reallyt well 3 months ago. I immediatly went into depression. But I want to be upbeat and happy, Working on paperwork is a struggle but am getting it done. I have a Social Worker helping me. So any words of encouragement will be welcome. 23 years is what I saw in your comment. I feel better now!

My wife was also jus diagnosed with lung cancer that has spread to her liver. She is the strongest one in our family. The Drs feel there is a possibility to cure it with a trial clinic .nGoing to do 2 months of chemo and see how the tumour cells react and if shrinking they will do another round of chemo for 2 months. If they keep shrinking they will use radiation to get rid of whatever is left of the tumour on lung and tumour on liver.

@tahoerox99- Twenty-four next month! I do think that wanting to be positive and happy will see you through what might be a tough journey ahead. It will help propel you to just go forward, not spend too much time on what might be but what can be. That is the gold, the path that is lit to show you the way.
Having help will lessen your stress and give you more energy. What really helped lessen my sadness and depression was telling people about my journey. Would you like to do that here, to give hope to others? Help them on their journey as we go along on yours? Isn't that right, @richcolleen?
